What characters do you think get little respect from the writers of their shows? I mean characters that rarely if ever play a big role in an episode or allowed to play a big role in the closing battles, kind of like seating at the kiddie table, while the real important characters fight. Or even appear in episode at all. And most importantly you feel could offer so much more. There are many characters that get little respect, and I think don't deserve much respect.
Here are some of my examples:
Mai and Ty Lee (Avatar: The Last Airbender) pacificly the end of "The Chase" and "Crossroads Of Destiny", Azula was involved in the epic closing battles, while they either just dried up after being thrown into a river, or guarding a dumb bear.
The HIVE (Teen Titans) first of all they are pawns of Slade and Brother Blood in "Final Exam" and "Deceptions", Slade even planned on them losing. Than they have to beg for a spot in the Brotherhood Of Evil in season 5. They are treated as junior villains, they are what I refer to as kiddie table villains.
Duff Killingen (Kim Possible) He was the main villain in his first episode "Number One", than whenever he appeared another villain or most cases villains appeared in the same episode.
All of these characters are villains, that is just a coisidence, this is not a villain thread, lord knows I started enough of those, but free for any character in general, weather on the side of good, evil, or in between. Though I don't consider Mai and Ty Lee villains, they are on the villain's side for now anyway.
